2 BR romantic Penthouse in Conchas Chinas with amazing views & beach access

Located a few walking steps from the famous Conchas Chinas Beach, This Mexican PH features spectacular views of the whole Bay of Banderas and the prestigious Conchas Chinas hillside. Its oversized terrace makes this home a dream experience like no other. From the moment you walk in, you will be wowed by the vaulted ceilings and the elegance of a Mexican decor. All 2 Bedrooms and 2 Baths are en suite, spacious and private. The kitchen is ample with plenty of cabinet space, fully equipped with granite countertop and stainless steel appliances, touches of beautiful stained glass windows provide you with a true Mexican ambiance . Siete Mares is a well –maintained small building with beach access, easy walking to town or a short drive, near the fire station and local transportation


Welcome to Mar Caribe!
If you are looking at our property, you have already decided that you want to spend your vacation in a safe place that offers privacy, quality furnishings, beautiful views, and a sense of home, while still offering convenient access to beach, town and amazing restaurants. Casa Mar Caribe is penthouse #1, located in Los Siete Mares, a boutique unit with secure access.
The 2,400 sq ft condo is located just above the beautiful Conchas Chinas beach. Conchas Chinas is considered the "Beverly Hills" of Puerto Vallarta, due to it's beautiful hillside homes, ocean views, and easy access (5 minutes by taxi) to Old Town (Zona Romantica). This condo is located in Lower Conchas Chinas, meaning you are on the ocean side of the road that divides the area with direct beach access.
The complex and the unit itself is hacienda style with a modern twist, giving you the feeling of traditional Mexico but with all the modern conveniences. The high beamed ceilings and open concept make the unit feel very spacious and the glass walls open to bring in the ocean sounds and view along with lots of light. There are unique stained glass windows throughout the unit that add to the charm and uniqueness of the property.

Housekeeping is provided 3x per week as part of the rental. There is also a shared laundry room on the property that you can use to wash any personal items.
Eric, our property manager, is fluent in both English and Spanish and will ensure that you have an excellent stay. He can arrange a transportation from the airport and groceries shopping for you (for a fee) and will introduce you to the unit. Alternatively he can just meet you at the condo if you arrange your own transportation.
We also encourage you to take advantage of a one hour in-condo massage with Yenni, which Eric can schedule for you. Nothing like a private massage on your own deck with the sounds of the waves and the feel of ocean breeze!
Eric will also provide you his contact information so that he can help you with anything you need: whether it be restaurant recommendations, having a translation challenge, arrange a whale watching trip, fishing, diving/snorkeling or other sightseeing excursion, or simply you get lost and can't remember the way home!
The condo features custom furniture and lovely original artwork. The Master bedroom has a king sized bed with quality mattress and includes a private bathroom with an unique open air shower. Bedroom #2 includes two comfortable queen beds with private walk-in shower. Both bedrooms have beautiful ocean views and their own deck access. For added privacy and comfort, the bedrooms are located on opposite sides on the condo, and include ceiling fans and air conditioning.
The main room is expansive and equipped with a TV, large dining table, and quality artwork.. The tap water is save to drink, via filtered water accessible through the installed filtration system at the kitchen sink. Internet is available from all rooms.
There are silent fans in every room, and all bedrooms and living rooms are equipped with air conditioning for your comfort (please use responsibly).
The deck is the star of the show, and includes dining furniture, lounge chairs, plants, lighting, artwork, and of course, the view and sounds of the Mexican Riviera. In season you can see manta rays, whales, and dolphins, plus spectacular sunsets.
In case you don't feel like going into town or cooking, there are two excellent beachfront restaurants right next door to the condo, El Set and Lindo Mar Hotel restaurant (La Playita).
The pool includes a swim up self serve bar, BBQ, and refrigerator where you can store your beverages while enjoying the pool and sun. There are plenty of lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas to share among the few residents and their guests.
Beach chairs and umbrellas are available in the unit to bring down to the secluded beach below.
Please note that because this property is in a small boutique complex (only 7 units) so there are no elevators. Stairs are required to reach the penthouse or to gain access to the pool or beach. This property is an excellent choice for couples, friends, girl or guy weekends. It would not be ideal for disabled persons due to the fact there are no elevators. The quiet nature of the property is not conducive to loud gatherings or the spring break party crowd.
The condo includes parking area for a rental car. Travel into town is easily accomplished by either hailing a taxi from the taxi stand just across the street, calling uber, going to the bus stop just outside, or taking the gorgeous 20 minute beach walk. Taxi ride from town is under 5 minutes and runs about $4.00 US dollars.
If you are interested in employing a private chef for all or part of your stay, that can be arranged as well.
Our goal is for our guests to have a stellar experience and fall in love with Puerto Vallarta like we did!


Conchas Chinas, known as the 'Beverly Hills" of Puerto Vallarta, is an exclusive residential area just a few minutes south of Old Town (Zona Romantica). It is an easy 5 minute cab ride into town, or there is direct access from our unit to the beach, where you can take an easy 15 minute walk to Playa Los Muertos Beach. From there, you can explore numerous beach restaurants, walk the Malecon, or simply explore the charming cobblestone streets of Old Town. Mismaloya beach is a ten minute drive to the south, where you can enjoy swimming, hiking, fishing and site seeing excursions. You may also simply want to spend your time enjoying the amazing views of Banderas Bay, the gorgeous beach with the sounds of the crashing waves, not to mention breathtaking sunsets, and pool time!

Five star ‘Home away from home’ in Conchas Chinas
From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were ‘home away from home’. At heart, we are home bodies just wanting a break from winter. We loved this condo and so did family members who joined us for a few nights. Eric is an excellent property manager. We appreciated all Eric did for us. Irma kept our home clean. Suggestions for owner would be to update the TV & kitchenware. We loved the authentic Mexican vibe with artwork everywhere and the expansive deck with lots of plants. Feb.24-March 16,2024.

Stunning views
We loved this condo! The very large and well appointed deck is where we spent at least 85% of our waking hours. The view is gorgeous - we saw whales, hummingbirds, pelicans, fishing boats, cruise ships, etc. throughout the week. The partially outdoor shower in the primary bedroom was beautiful! The home is well furnished and we felt very cared for by Eric, the manager - he was very attentive and helped us on several occasions, the hard working and kind maid, and we greatly enjoyed massages from Jenny (Eric helped make the arrangements). We will definitely consider staying at this home in Conchas Chinas again!

Perfect!
Our family of two adults and two children, ages 6 and 11, stayed for 8 nights at Los Siete Mares in Conchas Chinas in April 2023. The condo was beautiful and contained everything we needed and more during our stay. The large balcony with doors which open wide, lots of plants and the sound of the ocean help bring the outdoors into the condo. The children loved the floats that were provided for us to use in the pool which we had mostly to ourselves. It is a very short walk to a really nice beach but with strong waves it was not suitable for our youngest child to swim in, same as most of the beaches in Puerto Vallarta. There is a restaurant nearby looking out over the water which is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you don't feel like going into town. We used Uber lots to get into the Romantic Zone / Old Town - it was really convenient taking about 10 minutes. Eric, the property manager, was excellent at ensuring the check in/out process went smoothly. Would highly recommend this beautiful condo.

The Perfect Slice of Paradise
We were on the fence about where we wanted to stay for our trip to Puerto Vallarta. Based on the views of the pictures of this property, we decided to take a risk and book it. This place DID NOT disappoint. The views from the pictures 100% match what you experience walking into the place. At first, we were nervous about the busy street, but once you get inside, all you hear is the waves of the ocean! For 100 pesos, you can take a cab into town, or for even less, you can take the bus (both are across easily accessible across the street). If you want to have an ocean view, but be minutes from the city, this is the spot for you! This place has great charm, but with all the modern amenities!

We absolutely loved it here. Eric was extremely easy to communicate with and helped us with several questions we had throughout the week including restaurant recommendations. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4 and the views were outstanding! It is location in a small apartment complex but we seemed to be the only ones there and the only ones ever in the pool. A great stay!

Authentic Mexico
Lovely penthouse with great patio (especially nice for an in home massage). The decorations were beautiful and the layout was excellent. We had the pool to ourselves the entire stay and enjoyed exploring the area. Just be aware that there are 38 steps from the ground floor to the unit and then an additional 25 steps to the pool. If you wanted to go to the beach from the pool you had to go down an additional 25 steps. It was a good workout but is worth knowing before you go.

The Apartment is very ZEN with AMAZING Artistry Even in the Stonework
My wife and I fully enjoyed this space which was very comfortable with awesome views in every room. The colors are outstanding, and I have never seen such magnificent stonework with special symbols and detail. The view of Banderas Bay is perfect and we spent hours just gazing, with Netflix & U Tube for evening entertainment as a bonus. Eric the driver was very helpful and even went to get a hard-to-find bottle of Grand Mariner for us There are a lot of steps down to & back up from the beach & sand was a little coarse for my old feet which is the reason for the 4.5 Rating.

The view is spectacular
Having been to PV many times in the past I was really looking forward to staying in this location and in particular this rental. It is rather pricey when compared to others. Be prepared for plenty of taxi rides. It’s the charm and added cost of staying deep in conchas chinas. There is an oxxo just a few minutes walk away. The most poorly stocked oxxo I have experienced. And I have been going on and off to PV for almost every year since the mid 1990’s. Be prepared for water issues. We were without for a couple days. However water was delivered to us so we could at least flush the toilets. Jenny always kept the place smelling fresh and clean in the allotted time she spent there. The condo has the most amazing view and so close to the water the sounds of the ocean crashing on shore always lulled us to sleep. It is spacious and comfortable and equipped with the basics. It definitely has seen better days though and you could tell the owners Pascal and his lovely wife are milking it for as much $ as they can. This is not a negative criticism just seemed to be the fact. As time passed I just noticed things that stood out. Dead and dying potted plants on the patios, wobbling ceiling fans, burnt out light bulbs…. Little things that added up. Something that may have been included in the price of this rental is perhaps a return airport transfer. Yes, when asked Eric did offer to pick us up one way for $45 US the equivalent of almost $1000 pesos. A cab ride, usually, will be less than half that. When we arrived Eric explained the washing machine had just broke and a new one would be delivered/installed within a week. We never did hear or see anything in the 18 days we were there. I suspect it had been broken for sometime. There is however a laundry room located several flights down and at the other end of the building, free of charge for guests to use. The shower in the master bedroom is charming but with little privacy. Since it’s time of construction the area is now dotted with newer buildings… the entire coast line is changing…and anyone of the several balconies and pool areas can see you in plane sight. Not for the bashful. There is a lovely shower in the second bedroom for those that enjoy more privacy. I’d replace the dead plant with one living. All in all it is a charming place with a breath taking view, is comfortable and clean. We always have a great time in PV and this time was no exception. Would I rent this place again. Definitely not!

The terrace and view from this property are perfection! The home is beautifully decorated with very comfortable furniture and the pillow top king size bed is very nice. The pool level is very refreshing and private, while overlooking the ocean. Very easy walk to the nearby market, Conchas Chinas beach and oceanside restaurant , La Playita at the Lindomar Resort. The home does face West and there will be blazing sun in the afternoon, but the beautiful sunsets are worth every moment.

An absolutely beautiful condominium with amazing interior design with authentic Mexican charm. Two great separate bedrooms with private spaces. The kitchen is well equipped and laid out nicely. A pleasure to cook in. The terrace and view are second to none. We swam at both the pool and in the ocean. The beach is a locals beach that we enjoyed. We never saw a single person at the pool. The three minute walk to the Oxxo is perfect for any thing you need. A five dollar taxi ride to town is quick and convenient. There is nothing this property lacks. We will definitely plan a return trip. Thanks to Pascal for sharing your home. Thanks Yenny, Eric and Neft for all you have done.

Wow! Better than the photos!
This property is simply beautiful. My first impression was that the apartment was much larger than I imagined from the photos. Previous reviews that described how helpful the managers are were no exaggeration. Neft was there to greet me and was available to answer any questions I had throughout the week. The food at the restaurants next door and down town was amazing. I did walk to town most days - a 1 mile walk, which was is lovely on the stone roads. I had the pool and entire complex to myself with a few avian and reptilian friends. The evenings were filled with the sound of frogs and a house gecko chirping.. The outdoor shower alone was reason why I chose this place but everything was perfect. The king bed in the master is extremely comfortable. I have read the PV isn't the most quiet place and it was generally quiet here. There was a wedding one evening and you do hear people below and in the street but it was never overwhelming - merely the sounds of happy families blending with the ocean waves. The place is fully equipped with beach equipment and even a yoga mat. The kitchen was stocked with. basic condiments and coffee. I travelled alone and felt very safe the entire time.The whole process from booking to arrival and departure was easy breezy and I am so glad I chose to stay her for my first visit to PV. Thank you!!!

A bit of Puerto Vallarta Magic
Stop! You`ve found your little piece of Puerto Vallarta Magic. Now, if you`re looking for modern, clean lines and lots of glass maybe this condo isn`t your idea of P.V. Magic. But if you`re looking for older, more traditional Mexico charm with dark heavy wood, rooms that explode with color, beautiful stained glass, tile floors, art, pottery, an amazing outdoor shower and one of the best terraces in P.V., you will have indeed found your Magical spot. The second you step though the front door you are greeted with a gorgeous view of Banderas Bay. It is so gorgeous that you will be pulled right out onto the large and comfortable terrace. Once back inside you are greeted with a large, tiled, open floor plan - dining room, kitchen and a large living room filled with large pieces of Mexican art. Both bedrooms, with their own en-suite bathrooms, are large and inviting with their own patios for that quiet time with a good book, morning coffee or evening wine. The outdoor shower of one bedroom is what dreams are made of: open air with the warm ocean breeze and brown pelicans flying by to greet you in the morning. Did I mention the terrace? This is where you will spend most of your time - large, magical and the perfect place to watch the action of Banderas Bay. Forget finding a restaurant or bar with a great view. You have it right outside your door to enjoy all day long. We ate very few meals at restaurants because we enjoyed the view from our terrace so much. Want to swim? There is a pool on the property and I`ve usually been the only person using the pool area. Want to walk the beach in the early morning or jump the waves in the afternoon? Conchas Chinas beach, one of the best beaches in P.V., is 80 steps from the property. We've stayed twice now at this property and had a minor problem. Eric, the property manager, was on it and had the situation taken care of promptly. Yanni the housekeeper is warm, friendly and does a great job cleaning the condo. She also provides massage service out on the terrace or inside if you wish. What a great way to spend your vacation: getting a massage and listening to the ocean in the background. I`m looking forward to my next visit in early 2022. They say that our lives flash before our eyes just before we pass away. Make sure that you are watching a good movie when your day comes. Make sure there`s an scene that includes Casa Caribe at Los Sietes Mares.

Wow! Magical! Relaxing! Comfortable! What a patio! What an outdoor shower! We'll be back again!
This condo looks just as pictured and if anything, it is even more magical than it looks in the pictures - everything is just as shown. You are greeted by a stunning airy traditional interior that opens onto the main patio with a spectacular view of the whole Bay of Banderas and Conchas Chinas beach. Both bedrooms have full en-suite bathrooms and are separated by the large living room - perfect for two couples vacationing together. The patio is the main attraction and runs the full width of the condo but is split into three connected, but partially isolated sections: the main central patio and two side patios, one off each bedroom. Each patio area forms a unique and comfortable space. We really liked the height of the patio above the sea and the resulting view of the bay. For us, the view is much more spectacular than being closer to the level of the water. From our vantage point we saw numerous humpback whales, spinner dolphins, manta rays (with over 20-foot span from fin-tip to fin-tip), Magnificent Frigate Birds and Brown Pelicans. But for beach time rather than patio time, it is an easy 5-minute walk down to the main Conchas Chinas beach. Good quality beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels are provided in the condo. You can leave all the patio doors and the kitchen window open and always receive a refreshing breeze, we didn't need the air conditioning. We liked the relaxed quiet area of Conchas Chinas compared to the bustle of central Puerto Vallarta, but it is quick and easy to get between the two by taxi, Uber or bus. This condo offers traditional "Mexican charm" in spades, but comes with a small price - you don't have all the amenities of a sleek new ultra-modern-style condo, but that's not why I'm visiting! Absolutely loved it as is. Finally, people really do matter. Pascal and Cheryl are "premier hosts" - their experience and service are outstanding. Also, they have an outstanding local staff. Éric, the local property manager, is a really nice guy and provides excellent support and service as needed. Yenni is very pleasant and cleans the condo thoroughly three times a week and we enjoyed getting to know her. We look forward to seeing them both again in the future, as well as some of the other personnel we met who work at Los Siete Mares. So we give a special thanks to everyone who made our stay at Mar Caribe very special. We can't recommend this condo highly enough and we look forward to coming back again !!!

Loved our 10 day stay here. You hear the roar of ocean waves all day long. Sunset views. 2 restaurants are close by for meals out. Arturo drove me into town to the large grocery store upon our arrival and helped me find what I needed. Yenni was great coming by 3 times during our stay to clean up. She also does massages which we took advantage of. She’s a true professional. Manager was very easy to text with for our questions and arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport.

Relaxing Stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at this rental. It was clean and comfortable, and best of all the view from the huge plant filled balcony was amazing. We were able to spot whales from the balcony almost every day. The rental had everything we needed during our stay. The kitchen had everything necessary for making meals. There were beach towels, chairs and an umbrella to enjoy the beach. Plus, Eric and Yenni were great to deal with. My wife really enjoyed Yenni's massage. We had the pool entirely to ourselves during our stay. The beach was accessed through a gate at the bottom of the condo complex then down cobblestone hill and a flight of steps. It's about 5 or 10 minute walk to the beach from the front door of the rental. The location is perfect. Located in a quiet low key area, that is only a 5 minutes drive to town - there is a taxi stand directly across the road from the rental. The restaurant at The Lindo Mar a few doors down the road has great food at great prices - we are there must nights. There is also an oxxo convenience store an easy walk away to grab some snacks. We would definitely stay here again, and can highly recommend.

Clean, well tended to and lots of character. I stayed here with my family for 10 days and felt more than at home. It is located in an ideal location, away from all the hustle and bustle of town but a convenient 20 minute beach walk to shops and restaurants. We were close to the beach and had the luxury of a pool which virtually felt like it was entirely ours. Eric the property manager and Jenny the masseuse/housekeeper were more than accommodating. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Amazing
This was one of the most beautiful places we have stayed. The condo was gorgeous and the views incredible. Jenny was awesome and Conchas Chinas is the place to be. We had an awesome trip and will be back.

Beautiful property with an amazing view! Eric and Jenny were great. Everything was perfect, including the weather. The best area in Puerto Vallarta.

Fabulous Puerto Vallarta Gem!
Pascal & Cheryl’s Casa is beautifully decorated in the Mexican-artisan style with a nice, private feel. Located in Conchas Chinas, Casa Mar Caribe has a stellar ocean view and the ocean waves are soothing. The Casa is well laid out with ensuite bedrooms at opposite sides, a beautiful kitchen, patio with lush plants where one could hang out all day. We really liked the open air shower in the master. The pool area is nice and was pretty quiet during our stay in mid-March. Very easy and inexpensive access to town via taxi or Uber; or take the bus, it stops just in front. As others have attested, Eric and Yenni are exceptional people who will take care of anything you need. Arranging our stay with Pascal was easy; communication was quick and clear. We are so grateful to have found this property and hope to visit again soon. You will find the only thing that is disappointing, is having to leave this paradise!
